Friday, July 5, 2013

Let’s do book shimmies! We made it through the week-long part of the read-a-thon!!! Congratulate yourself and your new bookish friends on their progress so far. Did you get as much read as you wanted to so far? Have you changed your goals for the 24-hr marathon read?

I have to say that I have managed more reading than I expected thus far. Being off on the 4th definitely helped as I got a much-needed day at home to rest, read and spend time with my family. After being gone this past weekend at ALA, it was lovely to have it!I am off again today (Friday), but we are helping with some landscaping projects and such so I'm not a 100% sure how much time I will be reading but a hope a good chunk at some point. :)

Happy Fourth of July! We took it easy yesterday instead of doing a huge gathering like we have in the past. Lots of reading time and time to visit others happened today along with spending time with my husband and daughter playing games and watching a movie. :) Overall it was a great day!
